records to get, pt. I

So, here's a quick list of records you should know if you're a little bit in all these strange alternativeindiemathpostrock things.
Beware of trying to fit all these inside a genre - i'll try!

Yo La Tengo - I can hear the Heart beating as one
Quite spectacular, actually. Countryshoegaze? Definitely one of my favourites.

A Silver Mt. Zion - He has left us alone but sometimes rays of light grace the corners of our rooms
This is the record you should listen to if you're driving through an old, empty city.

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther
For all of you who enjoy a little bit of modern nostalgica.

Mogwai - Come On Die Young
Mogwai's finest, with quite a lot of pop-appeal. Nothing bad actually, just melodic.

This is going to be continued. You could stay tuned.

Jan has already repaired it, the Gold Fuzz is right where it belongs - in front of my signal chain.

Now, here's my chance to say a big
"THANK YOU!"
to Jan. It works as if nothing's happened, sounds nice and is as crazy as before.

The service was ultra fast, very friendly and in the end i got some stickers with it too (as seen on the left side)...

If i was able to give awards, Orion Effects would get one!
